2008 was absurd.
There was New Years in Chicago – with drama. As there always is.
Then Vietnam with Naomi.
I started The Diaries out of frustration. And it ended up making US and European cable.
Left for 3 months with the police after me. Ended up staying on the road for 6 months.
There was Thailand.
Then Indonesia.
Burma, Laos, Cambodia, India. and Nepal.
Along the way I missed those closest and lost one to a life lived brightly.
Realized I’m in still in love with – and always will be with – someone who I’ll probably not get to be with.
Saw my family. And home. Both in a way I never had.
Now live in a bus.
…and so it goes.
Happy New Year.

And so it goes. Happy New Year Aric w/ an A.
Happy 2009, Doll.
You also signed a two-book deal. Not too shabby. Happy New Year, buddy.
this is true! Happy New Year, Frankie Baby.
